    I wonder if they are related to Cristina Deutekom…

  • WindyCityOperaman says:

    It doesn’t take much of a musical scholar to realize Verdi’s Carlo is heavy music and totally inappropriate for young singers. If they’ve got to sing they should be doing (as Sanford said) Italian songs and arias, Mozart or Haydn. Maybe just stick with the instruments for now (at the same time, some of that violin intonnation – OY!) The boys are cute, though.

    I have read your reviews, and I dont know what to say.
    All I can tell you , is that the childrens mother is not allowed by the “blessed”father to have contact with any of her children , from the moment she decided to divorce.
    The children are brainwashed , afraid and confused.Yes, they absolutely need a mother ,and a normal life , incl. a good teacher ,who could develop their voices in a normal sense .That is , If at all they really want to sing !

    The mother is really desperate having to see how the ” blessed” father exposes them ,trying to get the career, he never had. Believe me , this is not a family video, its sheer fathers ambition .Childlabour and childabuse !
